Guest addict Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 TLD reels are great. They have stood the test of time for many years. Whats the tld 50 for ? Are you chasing sharks ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bennyboy 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'd like to upgrade my boat in the near future. I love my boat heaps and have transformed the entire unit to suit my needs so it is kinda special, but i'd like something a little bigger to head out a bit deeper and feel a little more safer. maybe you'll see my boat in the for sale section sometime soon {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest xtrafishyfish Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 the brazinos are a very nice reel but the gears are a bit clunky for throwing lures around and in my opinion your better off going a certate hyper custom or an exist {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gifIm in the proccess of upgrading my mully combo from a TD battler and a certate to a Steeze, Exsist combo {SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gifthis is a dangerous addiction fishing {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger 48 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Well don't tell the missus, but once I've paid off the latest Airity, I've made an executive decision that it's time for a Daiwa Zillion! Team Daiwa ZillionJust pick up one of these beauties – the solid feel of precision engineering, Team Daiwa Zillion represents the pinnacle of Daiwa’s engineering excellence.You can be sure when a company like Daiwa introduces a new reel that is full metal construction and saltwater corrosion resistant; there will be an endless amount of anticipation surrounding its release. Add to this, news that the new reel will have the strongest drag available in any low profile baitcaster, and you’ll have the hottest anticipated baitcaster in years.Introduced in 2006 the TD Zillion baitcasters quickly became Australia’s number one choice for the ultimate baitcaster. In 2007 Daiwa introduce two new versions, the low gear ratio Crazy Cranker, designed for cranking down deep diving crankbaits and the limited edition super tuned HLC -Hyper Long Cast designed for casting large heavy lures.Blazing speed or awesome cranking power, with three choices in gear ratio and right or left hand retrieve the Team Daiwa Zillion is the most versatile baitcaster available.Choice of ultra fast 7.1:1, cranking power of 6.3:1 or low down power of 4.9:1 Six ball bearings (inc. 4 CRBB) plus one roller bearing Swept handle for less wobble, better feel and maximum winding leverage Custom carbon handle with cork knobs on HLC version Free floating perforated aluminium spool Fast spool change Magforce Z automatic anti backlash system Eight disc hyper tournament wet drag system Precision ratchet swept star drag Aluminium guard plates on top of the reel Rigid aluminium frame and side plate Soft touch handles Locking bayonet mount side plate 6 kilogram drag 5 year warranty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
